UAC overlay icons aren't correctly blended.

Submitted by mrmckeb on June 4, 2008 to Aesthetics, Icons

The icons are surrounded by a white jagged edge, instead of being blended neatly. It is more apparent when the icons are larger.
Note: I don't normally have my icons that large, it's just for demonstration purposes.

Blend the icons correctly.

Tray clock should be upgraded

Submitted by wasker on June 4, 2008 to Usability

Tray clock functionality is under-utilized. Current date and day of week is being shown only in double-height taskbar.

I believe in the age of high-resolution computing, people who use huge screen resolutions might want to sacrifice fifty or so pixels to see current date and day of week along with the time (like "Tue, June 3, 9:04PM"). I'd like to have (more...)

<FIXED IN WINDOWS 7> Sound Recorder save as type dropdown has misspelling

Submitted by nitrous9200 on August 17, 2008 to Aesthetics

The dropdown box in the save dialog for Sound Recorder lists the option as Window Media Audio File (*.wma) which is obviously supposed to say "Windows Media".

Change the text to read Windows Media Audio.

Edit: this has been fixed.
